The CW has found a niche that seems to work for them when it comes to bringing comic book favorite heroes to the televisions of millions of fans around the world. It shouldn't be that much of a surprise since the WB later known as CW is the creator of the Clark Kent saga in Smallville. Though, since the days of a fresh face Clark Kent breaking into Lex Luthor's mansion to tell him how nasty he was every episode, superhero shows have expanded and the Arrowverse that the Arrow and The Flash created has now expanded to six successful shows.

One thing that fans look forward to are crossovers and there is no better crossover event than the episodes where The Flash and Arrow cross paths for an epic adventure. Usually, these specials deal with the intricate friendship between the main heroes but theirs is a friendship that raises too many questions when you give it too much thought. Here are 10 of those questions, ranked from mildly confusing to downright baffling.

10 Why Did Oliver Remain Friends With Barry After He Changed The Timeline?

Barry Allen is not the kind of person anyone should go to after losing someone special in their life. This is simply because his answer to everything - and we mean everything - isn't to keep moving forward through the pain but to run backwards in time to change the timeline.

Barry has done this so many times that it is hard to keep count and it's become kind of a joke among fans. Each time he does this, it results in irreparable damage not just to the timeline but to those he cares about. Why is Oliver Queen friends with a man who is responsible for erasing Dig's daughter from existence?

9 Why Does Oliver Not Teach Barry How To Grieve?

If there is one thing that Oliver Queen knows it's grief. He has lost his parents, past girlfriends and close friends even before he was the Arrow. So, it would make sense for Barry to turn to him to help counsel him on how to let go of the past.

Yet, for some reason, this is a point of topic in their conversations that never seems to get brought up between the two. If they were real friends, Oliver would be there for Barry instead of letting him handle his grief on his own. Also, doing so could've stopped Barry from wrecking so many timelines.

8 Why Doesn't The Arrow Consider The Flash Too Dangerous To Live?

Since Oliver feels more comfortable being lax when it comes to his friend duty with Barry, then he should at least put on his suit and stop the Flash from wiping out millions of individuals with each time change. After all, Arrow is a hero, meaning it is in his job description to save peoples' lives.

Oddly enough, it is never even hinted that Oliver has a problem with Barry playing God.  Only super villains commit mass genocide of that scale, technically making Barry the greatest threat the world has ever seen.

7 Why Doesn't The Arrow Call The Flash More For Help?

The Arrow and his team have faced some serious super villains that they barely find ways to defeat. Oliver Queen might know how to shoot some arrows and fight in some hand to hand combat, but he is still a superhero in name only.

There are countless times he could have used Barry to assist him taking down villains in his city. It isn't like it would take Barry a long time to get there. Even if they didn't want Barry to assist, Cisco could still prove useful by creating them some cool new gadgets.

6 Do Barry & Oliver Consider Themselves Equals?

Barry looks up to Oliver as a mentor but then still reminds him in the end that there is only one of them that has superpowers. To an extent, Barry has a point, as the Flash can create tornadoes and change the course of history and the future if he so chooses. In contrast, the Arrow can only use bad guys for target practice.

Their talents aren't even worth comparing because the simple truth is that they're not even close. So, exactly how do they consider themselves equals knowing just how one sided their relationship really is?

5 Why Does The Arrow Allow Team Flash To Imprison People Without A Trial?

One would think that a superhero would have a problem with another superhero locking up those they deem as threats whenever they so choose, for however long they so choose, without a fair trial. It basically is the equivalent of kidnapping supervillains and somehow justifying it by saying the justice system couldn't handle meta-humans.

While Oliver Queen is known as a vigilante himself, it is hard to believe he doesn't have a problem with this clear obstruction of law and order. Even if it is his good buddy Barry Allen doing it.

4 Why Do They Trust Each Other So Easily?

Throughout Season 1 of The Flash, Barry went to great extremes to keep his secret identity hidden. Though as the seasons progressed, he become pretty liberal about the amount of people he was willing to tell. Meanwhile, Arrow doesn't even try to hide his secret identity, wearing nothing but some face paint around his eyes to mask his face.

So, with the sheer number of people that know who each superhero is, it is a bit naive that each superhero's team feels confident that someone on the other side won't spill the beans about the other's identity.

3 Why Would Arrow Be Fine With S.T.A.R. Labs Owning A Particle Accelerator?

The question of why the Arrow - or anyone for that matter - would be fine with S.T.A.R. Labs owning a particle accelerator is one that seriously needs to be addressed at some point. After all, the lab was responsible for the deaths of 17 people when their particle accelerator exploded, sending a blast of dark matter throughout the city that created 2,600 meta-humans in the process.

The very fact that S.T.A.R. Labs still has the generator in its possession is beyond negligent. It's a bit confusing when Oliver Queen turns a blind eye to the dangers that S.T.A.R. labs still pose on not just Central City but the world.

2 Why Isn't Oliver Jealous Of Barry's Past With Felicity?

Not very many people can say that they are best friends with their significant other's past main crush. Barry did turn down Felicity's advancements in the past but that doesn't mean Felicity is quite over Barry. None of this seems to bother Oliver in the least, as he continues his bromance with Barry like there was no past between Barry and Felicity at all.

It doesn't mean Oliver should dump Barry because of Felicity having a crush on him; it's just a little strange the strong connection he shares with Barry especially after getting with Felicity.

1 Why Is The Flash Cool With The Arrow's Murdering Ways?

Maybe Barry feels like he shouldn't throw stones in his glass house, especially after he did kind of erase thousands if not millions of people from existence. That said, early on, Arrow took his vigilante duties a little too seriously with all the murdering he committed during this period.

But probably because of his title as a superhero and being Barry's friend, he somehow gets a pass for his violent mistakes. Though it doesn't seem right that villains can't get away with a lot less than murder, Arrow noticeably never has to make amends for his past sins.
